"Another power outage?"

"I've just finished cooking!"

"Wow Wow Wow Wow Wow ......"

"Why is the water gone? The shampoo on my head hasn't been washed off yet! What a fucking disappointment."

······

Sudden power outages and water outages at night have become a daily routine for everyone, and almost every day and night are mixed with complaints, cries, quarrels and other sounds. But the almost commonplace power and water outages seem to be more of a warning to people: "Be content!" We're almost gone. ”

And all of this starts 30 years ago, when natural disasters occurred one after another in various countries around the world, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, etc., which caused a lot of losses to all countries - population decline, nuclear leakage, damage to people's property, stagnation of the national economy, destruction of patches of plantations, etc., all of which were like warnings from nature.

Suddenly, one day, a blog was suddenly reposted on the social network, the content is probably the sharp decline of global resources, maybe the future of domestic water is a problem, several resource sharp decline comparison data charts, as if to tell us that this is the real fact. In another instant, the relevant articles on social networks around the world were deleted, as if they had never appeared, such a scene really made people feel cold in the back.

Immediately after that, the problem of energy shortage slowly emerged, and even 8 or 9-year-old children could realize the seriousness of the problem; Slowly, the war broke out, the big countries won, the small countries perished, the world map was redivided, and the remaining countries formed large alliance states, which were redivided into: Hao (East), Timari (South), Odena (Nordic), Agnya (South), Verdes (North America), and Tazik (South America). The alliance signed a treaty to jointly explore and research new energy sources, and each country needed to send expeditions to search for new energy sources, which gradually began the story.

"This is the expedition numbered Z3091, and it is December 1, 3000, at 21:37 p.m., and we are currently searching this area with expeditions from several other countries to find untapped resources." As soon as he finished speaking, it began to rain heavily in the sky. "Hurry up and find a place to shelter from the rain, in such a wet and cold weather, it's strange not to shelter from the rain and not to catch a cold." Captain Wang ordered. "Captain, there's a cave here, bring everyone here." With that, the group quickly hid in the cave, and the other expeditions around saw this and followed in.

"This bad weather, it's really disgusting, I miss my wife and children at home!" "I don't know when this expedition will come to an end." The noise gradually sounded, "Don't complain, hurry up and light firewood to keep warm." Captain Wang brought the wood and immediately scolded, he was forced to do this, the members of the expedition teams of the surrounding countries all had their own evil intentions, and they couldn't let unnecessary sounds disturb the morale of the army.

"Have some wine, brother! Hahahahaha! I don't know which country the expedition member handed Captain Wang a wine bottle, "No need, thank you." Captain Wang ignored him and replied. In such a cold weather, how can you do it without some wine to warm up? "It's better not to drink than you can drink, and at such a critical juncture." It's not that Captain Wang doesn't want to drink, in such a cold weather, he will definitely feel more comfortable drinking, but he has to beware of these people around him, after all, after exploring for so long, it is not a good thing to survive until now. He saw that Captain Wang did not appreciate it, waved his hand, and then left.

"Look, what are the signs on these walls?" I don't know where a sudden voice came from somewhere, attracting everyone's attention......

I saw that the walls were carved with all kinds of strange runes, and everyone looked left and right, and after looking at each other, they didn't know how to interpret these symbols. Suddenly, one of the expedition teammates in the southern country said, "I seem to have seen these symbols in some literature, which probably means that the emissary is summoned to fight in a competition, and the winner will get a chance to make a wish to the gods, and the gods will grant any of his wishes." "Doesn't that mean we can also make a wish for more energy!?" A younger member of Captain Wang's side suddenly shouted excitedly. "That's right." It seems that this is really the case. "The shouting, the whistling gradually remembered." But how do you play the game? How did the messenger summon him? "This kind of thing is just fooling people, right? Summon? God? Wish-fulfillment? Could it be that there are too many fairy tales!? "The voice of gradual doubt overshadowed the voice of joy." Everyone, be quiet. It says that if you want to participate in the tournament and get a way to summon the messenger, you can just smear blood on the stone wall and shout who to fight for. "Will this work?" "yes, will this work?" Doubts gradually sounded again. Captain Wang, who had been silent, suddenly said, "Everyone, we have been exploring for so long, wounded and dead, although I don't believe in any gods, summon messengers, but, it's raining so heavily outside, why don't we try this ritual, and we should also enliven this boring exploration journey." "In fact, Captain Wang just said what everyone had in mind, it's coming to the end of the year, who doesn't want to go home and reunite with their families? It's just that everyone doesn't want to be the first fool, and no one said it, not to mention that now that the energy shortage is to this point, even if it is a dead horse to be a live horse doctor. With that, Captain Wang, took a step forward, bit his finger with his mouth, smeared blood on the stone wall, and shouted, "Fight for Haoguo (Dongguo)!" Suddenly, a voice sounded in the cave: "Congratulations, you have won the right to participate in the competition." "Suddenly, Captain Wang had an extra ancient book in his hand." This book records how to summon messengers and participate in competitions, as well as teach you some magical knowledge, clues from other magic books, and more. The voice rang out again.

Seeing this, the leaders of the expeditions of other countries immediately rushed forward, smeared blood on the walls, and shouted: "Fight for Agnia (Southern European country)!" "Fight for Odena (Nordic countries)!" "Fight for Timari (Southland)!" "Fight for Verders (North America)!" "Fight for Tarzik (South America)!" Immediately, the voice sounded again: "Congratulations, you have won the right to participate in the competition." "A book is gradually coming into the hands of the captains. The crowd looked at the books in their hands and talked about it, forgetting the passage of time, when suddenly the voice in the cave sounded again, "If there are no more participants, the altar will be closed in 5 minutes." The rumbling voice overshadowed everyone, "Run!" In the panic, a sentence woke everyone up, but it was also accompanied by bursts of gunfire......
